Nice! Do you often give the pilot a go before fully committed to the whole season? Any shows that you have given up midpoint?

Like I tried to start Warrior Nun because the trailer seems fun and the lead actress looks very beautiful, also being afraid of it being cancelled (it indeed got cancelled then), but have given up after episode 6 or 7… cause the plot is very weak and the characters are laughable.

And then I tried to pick the ones that got high ratings in imdb, and started watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo and I do like it so far! Although sometimes being too cheesy at times, the acting is excellent and the stories are well-written. Highly recommended.

I give everything at least 4 episodes before I decided whether it's working for me or not. Unless it's reeeeeeeaaaaally bad... then I quit after the 2nd or 3rd. But that rarely happens. That has only happened like 4 times in the past 3 years.

A shit ton.

> Extraordinary Attorney

I was suppose to watch this show too but unfortunately didn't have time for it. There are some great shows coming out of korea nowadays (3 are on this list too lol), but they require commitment with those lengthy episode counts and runtime.

I recommend "D.P." on netflix too if you haven't seen it. That's another outstanding one.

Heard good reviews about DP but I haven’t managed to watch it, with season 2 coming this year I may watch it soon!

For other Korean shows I watched My Name, Hellbound and of course Squid Game in 2021, which were all very good. Narco-Saints, The Glory and Somebody are shows I saved in 2022 but not started yet.
